Introduction

Activity: Swimming (Front Crawl) Name of player: The important skills/techniques needed for a participant in her role: To be good in any aspect of swimming you need a decent level of strength, stamina and good cardiovascular fitness. A good level of strength is important in order to make you travel through the water at a respectable speed. A good level of stamina is needed to keep up a constant pace when swimming. When doing front crawl your arms need to enter the water correctly in order to obtain an efficient stroke, by doing this you also need to be streamlined. Cardiovascular fitness is required as this will get oxygen to blood at a more rapid speed, therefore your recovery time will also be quicker. You also need to have knowledge of the sport, to attain a correct stroke, and so you do not get disqualified from races. Analyse and identify in detail the strengths of the player/competitor: Whilst swimming Eleanor has got very good co-ordination which means that she has got good resistance and she won't become tired easily. Also she doesn't bend her knees too excessively which means that she will have effective leg action and will again have good resistance. When she enters the pool she doesn't over reach with her arm action, which means her stroke won't be too weak and her body won't 'snake'. ...read more.

To make it more exciting and for a strengthening activity I will make Eleanor try and retrieve an object from the bottom of the pool, only using her arms. S To improve Elly's arm stroke whilst doing front crawl M Swim up and down the whole length of the pool only using her arms A I've agreed this drill with Eleanor R Yes, her arm stoke is already good T By the end of the week E I will make her do different activities to make it exciting R I will keep a record of her progress Frequency-Elly will have 4 training sessions this week. Intensity-Elly will have to do a lot of swimming for this drill; therefore she will have to work quite hard. Time-She will spend 2 hours a day on this drill. Type-Making her arm strokes stronger. Training Programme Week 3 Leg Action * You need to have good leg action to help you glide faster through the water.

Conclusion

Stress- Stress will make you have a negative effect towards your performance because it can distract you from your goals, and it can make you lose your focus. * Social Family/Peer support- Support from families can really help performers because they can motivate you and make you want to do better so you can show them how good you are. But it can also have a negative affect because you feel you have to impress too much and this can lead to you making an unnecessary mistake. After practicing/training for 6 weeks assess how much improvement has been made: Type of Training Still needs Improving Average Well Improved Breathing Arm Stroke Leg Movement Body position Stamina Changes to performer Improvement Skill level Eleanor's skill level has improved as she has now got better co-ordination and agility. Tactical Awareness She hasn't really improved her tactical awareness/understanding because she already knew quite a lot about it. Improvements to fitness components Elly has thoroughly improved her fitness as has now improved her cardiovascular fitness and has a greater speed while swimming, from her body being more streamline.

Each letter on FITT means something I'll have to add to my exercise program F stands for Frequency and is a key component of the FITT Principle. It is important to know what I want to achieve. Adjusting the number of times I exercise per week to reflect my current

the direction of movement and sprint to the side of the opponent to give maximum space. Starting on a line, I will shout go for them to sprint to the next line on the court. How fast a player can sprint will determine whether or not they can get free.

Should I have been training above my anaerobic threshold the predominant method of energy production would have been the lactic acid system. The accumulation of lactic acid in the tissue would have resulted in fatigue. I carried out my training sessions twice a week in order to gain long term physiological benefits to aerobic training.

In my recovery phase my arm followed through which caused the ball to travel at even more of an angle. Also when I hit the ground my feet were straight. Strengths Weaknesses > A weakness that I observed in the recovery phase is that when I landed my legs were straight.

recovery rate got quicker as the sessions progressed, and so therefore my level was increasing as I recovered at a faster rate and exercise had been a higher intensity each time. My heart was beating at the same rate at the end of session was as it was the much more intense exercise after session five.

For these back foot shot you have to watch the ball carefully and spot the length early because by doing this you will get into position quicker which will enable you to have more time and this could result in a clinical finish to the shot.
